[This is anti-theft, I’m almost finished writing the text! I’ll post it in a moment, two, or three]
"I feel like my boyfriend... wants to kill me."
McDonald's on Sunday was crowded with parents with their children, and the children's screams and laughter could not be heard from the slides in the children's area. In such an environment, it was naturally difficult for Zhu Mei to take her friend's words seriously.
"Stop talking nonsense! Even if you two quarrel, don't speak so badly of others." The fat and fair Zhu Mei cursed in a funny way. After a pause, she raised an eyebrow and asked hesitantly:
"...When you quarrel, don't do anything, right?"
Sitting opposite her is a girl in her twenties. She has beautiful features, but she is not a rare beauty in this bustling international city. The most eye-catching thing is her pair of slightly slender smiles.
The amber luster in the large, upward-looking eyes and light-colored pupils makes people think of a cat waking up in the morning.
Lin Sanjiu shook her head and did not continue.
No wonder Zhu Mei didn't believe it - as soon as she said such words, even she felt ridiculous. Probably because she hadn't slept well in the past few days, and she was a little anxious...
Lin Sanjiu took two sips of coke, relaxed her expression, and said half-jokingly: "If one day, a policeman comes and asks you who I usually have enemies with..."
"Fuck you!" The teasing tone in her friend's tone made the doubts that were floating between Zhu Mei's brows disappear in an instant. She waved her hand with a smile, "Seriously, you are complaining after you got an advantage! You said it yourself,
What shortcomings does Ren Nan have——"
Lin Sanjiu had heard the following words countless times; this time, it blew past her ears like the wind, and she didn't hear anything in her heart. At this moment, her eyes suddenly glanced outside the window.
The line of his jaw suddenly tightened.
She lowered her head as if to cover it up and took a bite of the burger.
The moment I bit off the bread, the noisy McDonald's door suddenly fell silent for a few seconds. As the light at the door dimmed, a tall man walked in slowly. Several customers who were queuing saw him.
Unconsciously, he took two steps back to make way for him.
The tailor-made iron gray shirt has the iconic Armani waist design, showing a stable texture from every detail. The straight and elegant dark trousers have no extra wrinkles, and they seem to be worn anytime and anywhere.
Personally ironed and well-groomed—coupled with the nine-headed body proportions and handsome appearance that are rare among Asians, Ren Nan looks like a top model who has just stepped out of a fashion blockbuster at any time.
When walking in a McDonald's, it's no wonder that everyone looks at you sideways.
As he sat down, the air was filled with a faint fragrance of Davidoff's cold water.
"Why are you here to eat this kind of fast food again?" He nodded to Zhu Mei and said hello, and rubbed Lin Sanjiu's hair affectionately and helplessly. The Patek Philippe on his wrist was half hidden in her black hair. "I
I also plan to take you to the Japanese restaurant last time tonight."
"I happened to be hungry when I passed by here, so..." Lin Sanjiu forced a smile, avoided Ren Nan's gaze, lowered her head, picked up a French fries and put it into her mouth. Her long hair fell down from her shoulders,
Covering her expression.
——Zhu Mei is right, Ren Nan has no shortcomings.
He looked like a man who had stepped out of an idol drama. After spending a few months with Lin Sanjiu, Ren Nan quickly conquered all her buddies and friends with his impeccable demeanor, not to mention Lin Sanjiu.
This person is - no, not just his demeanor. His appearance, wealth, character, everything is so perfect... He is simply everything a woman can dream of.
Everyone said her life was too good.
When this relationship first started, Lin Sanjiu couldn't believe her good luck. At that time, every morning, she would wake up with a smile and face a brand new world brought to her by Ren Nan.
Until...she became less and less happy.
…Since when did you start feeling something was wrong?
Suddenly, Zhu Mei's enthusiastic voice interrupted her thoughts. "...I have been drinking wine all day today, so I won't waste your private time! She just told me that she was a little tired, please go back
Let’s go home——”
Lin Sanjiu was suddenly brought back to reality.
Ren Nan's gentle voice always contained a decent smile: "Let us see you off. It's been too hot recently."
Zhu Mei was a child at heart and immediately said with a smile: "Hey, you're welcome! It's hot enough today. I just walked for a while and I was covered in sweat..." The clothes on her back were still on
It's still wet.
Anyway, he had no appetite. Seeing that his friend had finished eating, Lin Sanjiu stood up calmly and walked out of McDonald's with her boyfriend and her friend.
The heat wave that had been roasted by the sun all afternoon on the street outside suddenly enveloped the three people. It was obviously October, but the scorching heat showed no sign of abating and still firmly ruled the city. The streets
Some of the people who were working hard in the heat wave were holding umbrellas, some were sweating profusely, and everyone looked uncomfortable - it was really too hot, even in the middle of summer it had never been this hot!
Zhu Mei was most afraid of heat. She had only taken two steps when she was already covered in sweat and kept wiping her forehead. Lin Sanjiu felt that the hair on the back of her neck was sticking to her skin. It was such an unpleasant feeling.
She was so uncomfortable that she couldn't help but ask: "Where is your car parked?"
Ren Nan raised his chin towards a nearby place. There was no moisture at all on his moist and clean skin.
"Right in front." After a pause, his posture was as elegant and calm as ever: "I have told you several times that it is inconvenient not to have a car. Now that you have passed the test for your driver's license, do you want to buy a car?
?”
Zhu Mei immediately praised with envy: "You plan to buy a car for Xiaojiu? You are indeed rich, rich and handsome... When I celebrated my birthday, my boyfriend only gave me a bear..."
Lin Sanjiu muttered a few perfunctory words, her mind not on the car at all. Fortunately, Zhu Mei was a lively person, and even with her chattering to Ren Nan, Ren Nan didn't seem to notice her absence.
...Three months ago, after Ren Nan's numerous requests, Lin Sanjiu finally sweetly compromised and agreed to live with him.
She packed up her things, vacated the house, and moved into his penthouse apartment in the city center. All the friends and colleagues who visited her new home were so envious that they stopped her as soon as she left the house.
She kept saying: "Xiaojiu, you have to catch such a good man!"
"Does Ren Nan have brothers? Does Ren Nan have any single friends? Don't forget to introduce one to me!"
"You have to talk to him about marriage as soon as possible..."
The excited voices of her friends seemed to still echo in her ears. The excitement and anticipation in Lin Sanjiu's heart at that time were several times greater than theirs - but after living together for a while, her IQ, which had been low due to falling in love, began to slow down.
Slowly recovered.
She gradually noticed some details in life.
Now, Lin Sanjiu couldn't explain why——
She is a little afraid of Ren Nan.
Watching Zhu Mei gradually disappear around the corner of the old-fashioned community, Ren Nan restarted the car, and the car merged into the traffic flow silently. About twenty minutes later, the two arrived home.
Ren Nan's apartment is located in the most expensive area of the city. It was just built two years ago. Every inch of bricks and tiles represents a lifestyle that ordinary people like Lin Sanjiu never dared to imagine. But now, she is almost there.
I'm getting used to my new life - if the doubts in my heart weren't getting darker day by day...
The penthouse apartment occupies the entire 38th floor. With the ding of the private elevator, the door opened and the two stepped into the living room.
Sensing the elevator running, soft lights gradually lit up in the living room.
"I bought some Coke today, would you like a can?" Putting down her bag, Lin Sanjiu walked to the kitchen, suppressing her heartbeat, and smiled at Ren Nan nonchalantly - she felt her expression should be
Unbeatable.
Ren Nan also walked over, with the same gentle smile: "Okay, everything you bought is good."
Everything you bought was good?
I don't know since when, this kind of sweet talk like a novel character made Lin Sanjiu feel very uncomfortable, and even made her a little embarrassed.
Do people really talk like this in life?
Not knowing how to answer the call, she hurriedly handed over the Coke - as soon as he pulled the tab, the bubbles in the drink immediately made a "sizzling" sound. Probably to make her happy, Ren
Nan drank half the can in one go.
Lin Sanjiu hid herself behind the opened refrigerator door, tensed her body, and raised her ears, not daring to miss the slightest sound.
The room was quiet for half a minute.
Second after second passed, until Ren Nan broke the silence in the room with a smile: "What are you looking for in the refrigerator?"
Lin Sanjiu's heart sank into her stomach. She closed the door and looked at Ren Nan pretending to be casual.
no response.
Ren Nan didn't even have the slightest intention of burping when she drank a can of iced Coke that had just been opened and was full of carbon dioxide - it was like pouring into a pool of dark stagnant water.
"Nothing, I just wanted to see if there were any snacks." She forced a smile.
After living together for three months, she had never seen Ren Nan hiccup.
It's not just burping - coughing, sneezing, farting, sweating... all kinds of things that although indecent, everyone does it several times, Lin Sanjiu has never seen it in Ren Nan.
Come to think of it, she wasn't even sure she'd ever seen him go to the bathroom.
"You didn't eat much just now, why don't we go out to eat tonight?" Ren Nan took her hands and kissed Lin Sanjiu on the neck.
Goosebumps suddenly broke out on her back: "No, I'm too lazy to move... Besides, I want to go to bed early tonight, and I have to get up early tomorrow."
"Then I will cook myself and make salmon for you." Ren Nan said with a smile.
Lin Sanjiu nodded hurriedly.
Ren Nan's cooking skills, just like him, are impeccable. After eating the dinner he carefully prepared, the sun outside the glass wall of the living room is gradually setting. The sky is getting darker little by little, and finally
Replaced by night and starlight.
"Today is the 104th day of continued abnormally high temperatures and droughts around the world..." After putting away the tableware, Lin Sanjiu pretended to be interested in the news and watched TV - she really
He was unwilling to have any eye contact with Ren Nan. "After the high temperature deaths in Africa, India, Southeast Asia and other places, the number of people who died of heat stroke in our country has reached 67. Relevant experts remind..."
She felt Ren Nan come over and sit down next to her. The sofa sank deeply.
An arm naturally hugged her shoulders, and Lin Sanjiu stiffened.
Although she didn't look back, she could clearly feel that what Ren Nan was watching was not TV. His gaze had been lingering on her back - not the usual tender and affectionate one, but a naked one -
